During a time of religious persecution, Metropolitan Elijah Iorest was imprisoned for his Orthodox faith. He was subjected to harsh conditions, including starvation and torture, but he remained steadfast in his beliefs. Despite immense suffering, he refused to compromise his faith. His unwavering commitment to Orthodoxy inspired many. Even in chains, he continued to minister to those around him, offering spiritual guidance and comfort. His final testimony was a testament to his love of Christ.

Holy Confessor Elijah, pray to God for us!
